Football 101: Packaged Plays

A new series we’ll put out each Sunday morning to help get you – not that you needed it – into a football mindset. A basic Football 101 series that will look at a concept or scheme with the intention of making you a smarter football fan.

Didn’t have one of these last week, but don’t want you to think we’ve discontinued the series. We’re back with a brief rundown of packaged plays, something we also refer to as run/pass options (RPOs). We’ve written about it a lot and because of that, I wanted to dedicate a post to breaking it down.
